Will it give me the option to save it there? If I click (Y), where will it store the recovered files? On the PCs Hard drive? Please help.
Are you using the Live CD or an installed Knoppix system?

In both cases you answer Y and enter, the files are then stored in
/home/your_name/Desktop/TestDiskPhotoRec/testdisk

If you have an installed system the "your_name" is replaced by the username you installed; if not then replace "your_name" with "knoppix" without the quotes.
You can then plug in an external usb memory stick or usb hard disk and drag and drop the receovered files across.
